With 'taxi Driver,' I Had This Eureka

I Was One Of Those Avid Moviegoers As A Kid, And We Didn't Have Video, So We Went To See Everything Five Times. I Went To See Every Foreign Film Playing In My Town. As Times Went On, I Watched A Lot Less Films. I Have A Different Film School Now. My Film School Now Is My Life Experience.

As Time Goes On, I Will Play Characters Who Get Older: I Don't Want To Be Some Botoxed Weirdo.

When I Think About What Part Of My College Experience Came Back In My Work Experience, I Feel Like It Was Learning How To Read Deeper, Learning How To Keep Filling The Movie Up With More And More Resonance.

What The Digital Age Has Offered Us, In Terms Of Connectivity And Transparency, Is That All Of These People From Weird Places In The World Are All Talking To Each Other, At Four In The Morning, And Are Sharing Ideas. There's More Openness Than Has Ever Been Known, So That's A Good Thing.

I Didn't Work Very Much When They Were Young, And I Had The Luxury To Be Able To Do That. Most People Can't.
